journal numero uno

this is the first one and will probably be the shortest due to the fact that i have started this close to the end of the day.  the husband will be home soon and of course i will have to get off the computer and try to have some kind of civil interaction with him and the kids. 

a little background on me....  i'm a 30 something mom of three girls.  i do have a full time, decent paying job but am home bound right now on short term disability due to having had surgery almost two weeks ago.  i've been stuck in this house.  and recently all our financial troubles came to light to the husband.  things i had been trying to take care of on my own and not having to worry him about.  things that quickly got out of my control and now may cost us our house.  so now he knows my dirty little secret and even though he tries to act like nothings wrong, i know at this point he despises me.  ok.  maybe that's not entirely true.  i think he should despise me.  i'm disgusted by myself.  so pretty much the electric company will be disconnecting our service at any given moment, the landlord will be starting the eviction process probably this weekend.  and our vehicle will be repossessed sometime between now and next week.  i'm not looking for anyone to feel sorry for me.  i realize that i brought this on myself.  i just needed to put down somethings that i obviously can't say to him.  because even though he tries to act like he doesn't hate me i know that at the very least he resents me and i've come to the point where i don't feel comfortable talking to him about anything.  my thoughts and feelings at this point aren't worth a grain of sand.  i put us in this position.  i have been on the phone all day trying to work some things out.  i think i have accomplished a couple of things.  i just feel like such a failure. 

so now i'm almost two weeks out from my surgery.  i had my post op yesterday.  the doctor asked me if i wanted to go back to work.  i almost said yes just for the simple fact that i am so sick of being stuck in this house.  i'm not even alone, a family member of my husband's lives with us.  one i have never gotten along with well.  and who likes to take over the house like it's his and i'm just a squatter.  yes, this is our house and HE lives with US.  he pays rent now and then.  but this is MY house.  not his.  his favorite thing to do is to wait till i go in the living room to watch tv, then come and sit in the living room and talk on his cell phone.  now mind you, our living room tv is a 57 inch tv we were given for christmas and it's the only tv that thas this digital converter on it.  he has a digital converter in his room but he broke his remote so he comes in the living room because of that and the fact that we have that huge obnoxious tv.  i feel like he does the things he does just to irritate me.  my husband says its just because he has no respect for women because he's allowed both his wives and both his daughters to treat his like he's a piece of trash.  and he also believes that everyone owes him.  he alone lost everything he owned and we were gracious enough to take him in after his daughter threw him out for the same things he's doing to me now.  but because he is not my family member, i have no say in the matter.  i have always said i don't want him living here.  but it's never been up to me.  and now unfortunatly we have gotten into the financial situation we are in and we need his money... no matter how or when we get it. 

i think that at this vary moment, my main problem is that i'm sick of being stuck in the house, hungry, and lonely.  i don't really have a whole lot of pain still from my surgery.  there are times it does hurt, if i over do it or what not.  i already take anti-deppressants but i'm starting to wonder if i'm slipping into a depression that my meds won't help.  i've heard that its easy for people who are home bound after a major surgery to fall into a depression.  i was told that it happened to one of my family members though i never saw any signs from them.  i only know what i was told by their spouse.  i just feel like i've screwed everything up AGAIN as usual.  i feel like a failure.  like i've let down my family and my friends.  my friends that have tried to help me get out of my destructive behavior only to get right back to where i was.  right now i feel like taking a few vicodin and a xanax or two and just zoning out the rest of the day.  i've been on the phone with creditors screaming at me, telling me what a useless piece of crap i am.  only to call my husband upset by them and have him tell me that he agrees with them.  this has been a pretty jacked up day.  i have no clue what we will have for dinner.  but i think i'm just going to go to bed.  i know he will take care of them.  i just don't have the energy to deal with anything more today.......
